Dog trainer, behaviorist, and host of the nationally syndicated radio show Pet Talk, Harrison Forbes chronicles his life with dogs here, from the first bond he formed as a boy with Sabina, his neighbor's Belgian Tervuren, to the story of Lex, a police dog who attacked his handler's wife, was saved by Harrison from euthanasia, and transformed into one of his favorite dogs. The book combines Forbes' intense love for these extraordinarily driven and intelligent creatures with the more practical aspects of understanding and dealing with whatever type of dog the reader may have at home.

"As Forbes talks about dogs he has trained and potentially dangerous situations he has encountered, he is also teaching the reader a tremendous amount about why dogs act and react the way they do."—Booklist
